A DESIRE ON THE PART OF THE WIDOW TO LIVE IN
PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
From the New York Herald.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher is occasioning some
anxiety TO her friends as she has been to her
children since the death OF her husband. Though
offered home In the family OF Colonel Beecher,
her eldest son, she has preferred to occupy suite
OF apartments in the Water View Hats, on Colum-
bia Heights. Brooklyn, where she lives with a
house keeper. Lately she has expressed desire TO
occupy the parlors OF Plymouth church, and TO
make her home there, but at the suggestion OF her
sons this request has been denied her BY the
trustees, and 1t is alleged that this denial has
caused strained relations TO exist between some
OF the leading people OF the church and Mrs.
Beecher. To those who are familiar with all the
facts this episode is regarded as one OF the
nfirmities OF advanced age and as having no other
significance.

Red Shirt, Cody says, is the best Indian he ever
had anything to do with. He is high minded, hon.
orable and particularly tractable and afectionate.
He is always cool and very quiet, yet he is a very
rigid discipnarian. He has killed at six different
times men OF his tribe in the West who refused TO
obey him. Last summer one OF the Indians caused
the police great deal OF annoyance by crossing
the bridge over to the American Exhibition side,
for the purpose OF talking with some Of tie bazaar
girls. Repeated fines would not check him. He
was fined so much that his pay for the season was
down to about pound. Then Red Shirt was
appealed TO to use his authority Red Shirt walked
up TO the disobedient Indian, and without raising
his voice at all he said In his smiling gentle say
"YOu are a bad Indian. You have been requested
by Col Cody and myself to not cross this bridge.
Now have come to tell you one thing. II you ever
cross that bridge again without
MIA YOU WIFI vnfs Rru shirt started away. From
that day forward this bad Indian never even went
near the end OF the bridge.

Lock to compel them, as executors Of her fathers

Georgia Fargo declares that the income from the
money in trust with the executors amounts to
more than $500 600, and that her share thereof Is
more than $37 800, but that the executors never
paid her anything until last January, when they
gave her $4,000 on account. She asserts thai

LORD SALISBURY, IN A GENKBAL WAY, PR0NDEs
MANY REFORMS
In his speech at the meeting of the national
union OF conservatives at Oxford, England, on
Wednesday evening, Lord Salisbury said he would
not renew the discussion OF the question whether
home rule would be established or not Reform ol
local government was long needed in England, and
the government hoped to carry q measure that
would meet the wants Of the country. The gov
eminent were prepared to face obstruction.
The present system OF procedure was not enough.
Drastic reforms were required 70 prevent o wanton
waste OF the public time. He hoped that the effect
OF these measures would be the restoration OF the
character and usefulness OF the house. The Que9-
ton Of the regulation OF the liquor trac, he con-
tinued would have the foremost place In the local
government bill He was In favor OF liberty In that
traf1c as far as was consistent with social order.
He said he was strongly opposed TO church discs
Enlistment but admitted that the government
were bound to reform the church by removing
whatever evils were proved to exist. He promised
a measure for the removal Of 1.-THE charges from
land The state OF agriculture, he said, was de-
plorable Whatever measures OF relief might OBJ
tain the general consent would receive the readest
consideration of the government Referring to the
Trafalgar Square troubles, he said he regarded the
meetings there as lawless demonstrations. They
were the natural results OF Mr.. GladstOne's words
The government was determined at all costs TO
maintain the supremacy OF the law.

Business In the courts at Montreal is far behind,
owing to what is almost a deadlock between bench
and bar, the latter charging the bench with lazi-
ness, and the bench charging the bar with unpro
fessional conduct The Montreal bar recently used
strong language about country judges and on
Tuesday one OF them refused to sit in court in
Montreal 1t Is stated that unless means are
found To remedy the deploIable manner in which
justice is administered In the district the lawyers
will follow the example OF their brethren some
years ago and go on general strike, that is, re-
fuse to plead.
